Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Wheel Installation
To reduce the possibility of component
damage, do not tighten lug nuts to more
than 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm) torque.
It is important to follow the ‘cross sequence’
pattern when installing lug nuts. This will
assure even seating of the wheel against the hub.
With the valve stem to the outside, mount the wheel onto the
hub with lug nuts. Finger tighten lug nuts in a ‘cross
sequence’ pattern (Ref. Fig. 10 on page 8). Tighten lug nuts
to 50 - 85 ft. lbs. (70 - 115 Nm) torque in 20 ft. lbs. (30 Nm)
increments following the ‘cross sequence’ pattern.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
To reduce the possibility of premature
bulb failure, do not touch new bulbs with
bare fingers. Use clean, dry tissue or
paper towel to handle the glass portion of the bulb.
For vehicles equipped with lights mounted below cowl,
locate bulb socket on backside of light bar (Ref. Fig. 11 on
page 8) and turn bulb socket a quarter turn
counterclockwise to unlock and pull out bulb. Insert new
bulb (Ref. Fig. 39 on page 22) and rotate socket a quarter
turn clockwise to secure.
To replace the tail and brake light bulb, remove hardware
securing lens and remove lens (Ref. Fig. 12 on page 8).
Install replacement bulb (Ref. Fig. 39 on page 22).
FUSE REPLACEMENT
To replace fuses, locate the fuse block under the driver side
seat. Pull out old fuse and replace with a new automotive
type fuse. Headlight and taillight bulbs and fuses are
available from a local Distributor, an authorized Branch or
the Service Parts Department.
VEHICLE WITH A DISCHARGED BATTERY
To reduce the possibility of
severe injury or death from
inadvertent motion, do not
attempt to ‘jump start’ a
vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator and does
not idle. When starting the engine, the starter/generator
functions as a starter and with the engine running, it
functions as a generator.
With the short running times associated with this kind of
vehicle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain the
